New product makes getting bait easier

Brenda saw this new product at the Northern Ontario Tourism Summit this November and thought it could be useful to Bow Narrows anglers.

It is called Bait2Go and is basically a plastic jar with screw-on lids on both ends. Inside is a moveable floor that can be raised and held in place with a rod. This lets you bring your bait, be it minnows, worms or leeches right to the top and out of the water so that you can grab them easily.
The bottom end can be filled with ice cubes, if desired, to keep the bait cool. To replenish the water without losing bait, you just unscrew the bottom and refill. The bait is all trapped on the other side of the moveable floor.
The canister can be attached to the rail of the boat with a hook, suction cups or Velcro. It can also be fitted on a belt.
Bait2Go was designed and developed in Sudbury, Ont., right where the Tourism Summit was being held.
You can see more at their website.

About Me

My wife, Brenda, and I retired as owners of Bow Narrows Camp in 2017 but still live in Northwestern Ontario, at our home in Nolalu in the winter and soon at our cabin on Red Lake near the camp. I grew up at this remote fishing/hunting wilderness lodge which was first created in 1948. My mom and dad, Del and Don, bought the camp in 1961. My family then operated the camp until 2017. The camp is famous for its world-class fishing for walleye and northern pike as well as lake trout, whitefish and ling. The camp is also frequented by people other than anglers and hunters such as hikers, artists, photographers, canoeists and sea kayakers. The camp is now owned by Brian and Joanne Spillar who will be starting a blog of their own.
